OK, so it isn't the REAL stuff, a girly 55% and no wormwood (pah, infidel stuff) but it does make your mouth go numb.. :)

Wormword is the magic ingredient. No Wormwood and it's 'just' a drink. Perod got invented because Absythe was getting banned due to the wormwood.

A couple of weeks before Christmas I went for dinner at the home of some friends who had just come back from holiday in the Czech Republic where they had bought a bottle of absinthe - the 70% abv version.

We drank white wine and champagne and then Dave got out the absinthe and we tasted it....none of us liked it...so we decided that down in ones were the best option. We had three each.

What decided me to leave the party and...er... "walk" home was the fact that at one point I turned to talk to another person but realised that for at least two and a half seconds I could still see the person I had been talking to previously.

God was I sick. But strangely by 10.00 next day I was right as a bobbin. One of the other people at the meal literally couldn't walk until 4.00 the next day.

Could that be the champagne?
I can mix 99% of drinks with no ill effects but, wierdly, half a glass of champagne even after wine will have me feeling all technicolour-yawn-inclined. However, I can drink champagne on its own until the cows come home, get fondled by the milking girl and then return to the fields with few ill effects.
IS that just me?
Am I wierd? OK, don't answer that last one... ;)

Na, u aint on your own mate, this is the same for me, I can mix, wine, larger, spritis for ever, but champagne really does it.

Typical example, it was new year eve and I had already pushing 5 pints, my mate got 2 rounds in, it consists of 2 quaduple (cant speel;) ) vodka's, 2 purple Red Square (used with the vodka's) and 2 pints of stella each!!!!!:eek:

Then my mate got 2 bottles of champagne in. .. after drinking about 3-4 glasses of the stuff, I was totally fcuked...

It was kinda, fine no problem with this, then BANG... out like a light. The thing that really annoyed me was I was on for a promise and went to get some food, but the bloody bouncer wouldnt let me in, his reason: TOO DRUNK... needless to say I changed the colour of my room when I got in:o
